Question
I have a formulation with the following ingredients and percentages. Could you please provide information about this formula?
- Biotin Express 1%
- Zinc PCA 0.2%
- Panthenol (B5) 0.5%
- Phenoxyethanol SA 1%
- Distilled Water to 100%
Answer
This list appears to be a simple water-based formulation.
- Biotin Express (1%): Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is known for its benefits in promoting hair growth, reducing shedding, and strengthening hair roots. It also helps nourish nails and skin.
- Zinc PCA (0.2%): This ingredient is effective in reducing skin oiliness, accelerating wound healing (like acne scars), stimulating collagen production, and can help reduce hair loss caused by oily scalp.
- Panthenol (B5) (0.5%): Also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, Panthenol is a great humectant and moisturizer. It helps retain moisture, softens the skin, increases elasticity, reduces inflammation and redness, and aids in wound healing. It also nourishes hair.
- Phenoxyethanol SA (1%): This is a broad-spectrum preservative used to protect the formulation from microbial growth.
- Distilled Water: Used as the base to complete the formulation to 100%.
This combination of ingredients suggests a formulation aimed at improving hair health (reducing hair loss, strengthening hair) and potentially addressing oily skin or acne concerns due to the inclusion of Zinc PCA and Panthenol.
